Cozumel, Mexico 2011 - a mini album



A mini album of our family trip to Cozumel, Mexico 
(Album measures 8" x 8")
***
Cozumel, Meksika: 2011m Šeimos kelionė - mini albumas
(Matmenys: 20cm x 20cm)

Grab some tea or coffee and come back to see the insides of this album - it will take a while!...

Galbūt pamenate kad kažkadaise buvo tokia Irma kuri dažnai skrebindavo? Po truputėlį skrebinau, bet nusiteikiau kad parodysiu kelionės albumą tik tada kada visą pabaigsiu. 
Štai pagaliau (!) Po poros savaičių, ir  atkaklaus darbo, turiu ką parodyti. 
Taigi, užplikykite arbatos, ar kavos ir sugrįžkite pavartyti albumo vidinį turinį...pamatykite Meksika pro mano objektyvą....

Yet another Scrapbook Trends publication for me :):):)

I tell 'ya, the novelty of seeing your work in print never wears off - at least for me, it hasn't so far. 
My layout 'Brothers and Sometimes Friends' is currently printed in the Scrapbook Trends February 2012 issue (page 107).

I was so happy they picked this page, because of the photos primarly. My boys rarely show this type of loving, snuggling behavior toward each other. Right now they more in a fight-for-their-mother's-attention stage. Hence the title, sometimes they DO love each other and are the best of friends.

Norėjau pasidžiaugti kad mano skrebukas: "Broliai ir kartais draugai" buvo spausdinamas dabartiniam vasario mėn. 'Scrapbook Trends' žurnalo prenumerate. 
Nors ne pirmą kartą mano skrebukai esa ten patekę, visvien niekad nepriprasiu ir nepabos matyti savo skrebiškus kūrinius žurnalų puslapiuose :)

Life is SWEET!...

Life IS sweet....especially when you  have a super talented friend who continues to surprise you with jaw- dropping, beautiful creations such as this layout by my dear friend Nadia Cannizzo.
I got this page and an equally beautiful hand-made card from Nadia quite some time ago, and it was so difficult to keep this a secret and not show it off until the launch date of the new challenge that she created for. But now I can share and gush and thank her for this amazing keepsake.
Nadia does a great job photographing her work, but let me tell you that to actually hold this in my hands feels like I'm entering another realm. It is so intricate, layered and mesmerizing as if one was to enter a secret garden. 
Nadia, if you read this THANK YOU!
Irma

My very 1st publication with Creating Keepsakes

It surely is an unexpected and really welcome surprize, when snuggled up on a couch on a snowy day with a hot cup of tea and a new scrapbook idea book, 
I turn the page - p.64 to be exact - and see my very first Creating Keepsakes published layout from 2009!
